Well by now most of you have read the older bio stuff from years ago and so now I feel it was time to forget the past even though it is part of me and have opened a new chapter in my life with a move to the AZ desert and a new home and a few life. I get up to fresh fruit and a kiss from my very enthusiastic hubby, David a computer engineer and web designer.

Well by now most of you have read the older bio stuff from years ago and so now I feel it was time to forget the past even though it is part of me and have opened a new chapter in my life with a move to the AZ desert and a new home and a few life. I get up to fresh fruit and a kiss from my very enthusiastic hubby, David a computer engineer and web designer.
I then look over my projects to see what isn't finished and what needs to be and then listed. I then get some sun in the courtyard of our desert home in AZ, do a few pushups, work on my biceps, leg lifts or walk a mile before the sun hits 110 degrees or more. Then it's time to hit the studio running. It is a converted walk-in closet with my designs hanging on one side and my tools on the other with my two machines neatly placed on a nice table David built for me out of some Home Depot supplies and lots of loving care. It is really cool but small and that's okay cuz it works for me.
Out in the courtyard sits a 99 gallon locker filled with modal knits, cottons, silks, linens, blended knits ( not very much) chiffon, satins and other fabric purchased from my LA supplier.
I have made many friends through my membership on this site. And have been encouraged by a few who have stopped in to let their presence be known through etsy's stats. I can tell who comes from craftsy, ebay, a search engine or anywhere else they might have found me. It is very cool. I am having fun but will have even more fun when some of the 40+ things I made over the past three months begin to fly off the pages of my shop.
Sorry that I have been away and for all my followers, I will be posting all the quilts that I have made over the summer. I think that there are about ten or more. I have made ten or so blouses with coconut buttons too. I will try to get those modeled and photographed to post as well. I purchased a Kindle Fire HD last December for my Christmas to myself and have read about 50 books since then. Everything from Christopher Columbus to Queen Victoria and her marriage to Prince Albert. What a pair!
I still read but I have been buying movies lately. Ben Hur, The Robe, The Blue Lagoon made 30 years ago that I never saw. I think it is just about the sweetest movie ever made. So innocent. I love it. I also have the 1948 movie called The Red Shoes about red ballet shoes that never stop dancing and the famous ballerina Morra Shearer dances right off the Monte Carlo balcony onto a passing train. I am still shocked every time I watch that part. I just really feel so bad for her. Well, enough about the
books and movies.
Well, see you all soon with more pictures and more craftsy crafts.
Cioa!
